Hi,
The bowing is caused by uneven thermal distribution on pipe surface.
Okay, how will you analyse the bowing effect on piping using manual calculation? then how will you do this in computer analysis using CAESAR II or Autopipe? what would be the thermal bowing temperature?
LittleInch, are you joking? aren't you?
Using a spring on thermal bowing? [cyclops]
In my case i have no experience yet in thermal bowing analysis, "But" I know that this bowing effect is caused by an introduction of cold fluid which is partially filled in a piping system, other cases were due...
Hello LittleInch,
Do you understand thermal bowing very well? I presume you understand where is the hot and cold surface of the pipe when LNG introduced in the system at ambient temp. Then I presume you will know where is the contraction and expansion surface of the pipe that makes lift-off...
I have a piping with a commodity of LNG. This is subjected to thermal bowing. I have put an anchors in every straight lines, also hold down supports. But when I check the result, the pipe is failing. What should be the proper support for a piping subjected to thermal bowing?
I doubt the result...
